Yes.

What is the difference between “lap” and “combo” swim? 
Lap swim is for continuous swimming. Lap swimmers are required to share the lane and circle swim to accommodate multiple users per lane. Combo swim is half lap swim and half open recreation with three lanes designated for lap swim and the other half open for free swim and recreational activities. Children and those wanting to recreate should visit the pool during Combo Swim.

What is the water temperature?
We will keep the pool between 84 and 85 degree Fahrenheit.

Can I bring my kids to swim for free?
Free family hours for ISU students and gym members occur during combo swim. Students’ and members’ children (to age 19) may swim for free at these times. Children entering the pool outside of combo swim must purchase a day pass. Members must remain on deck with their minor children.
